Refit, retrofit and conversions

Kongsberg Maritime has more than 50 years of experience with marine refit, retrofit and conversions. These upgrades have proven to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency. We have the experience, skills and products necessary to make your upgrade a success story. A highly dedicated and specialized team focused solely on upgrades is ready to revitalize your vessel.

How we work

To make sure all refit installations are a success, Kongsberg Maritime follows a four step procedure consisting of:

Site survey: Our specialist carries out a site survey and prepares a site report. This report includes a suggested system layout, a detailed project milestone plan and a cost analysis. This forms the basis for a delivery contract.

Engineering: The system is carefully tailored to meet customer requirements and is outlined in a design document for final customer approval.

Installation: This can be performed while the ship is in service or during docking, either by our own team of technicians and installation company, or the customers own staff under supervision of our engineers.

Commissioning & training: Our team of experienced commissioning engineers ensures the system(s) are set up and are performing to agreed specifications. These engineers can also take care of all needed onboard crew training.

Risk
